Frequently Asked Questions - 1384 ARIETE

How do I use the Ariete 1384 coffee maker for the first time?

Before first use, wash the carafe and filter basket with warm soapy water. Run a cycle with water only (no coffee) to rinse the system. Then you are ready to brew coffee.

What type of coffee filter does the 1384 use?

The machine includes a permanent mesh filter. You can also use standard #4 paper filters for a cleaner taste.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

After each use, discard the used grounds and rinse the filter basket. Wash the carafe and lid in warm water. For deep cleaning, run a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1) through a brew cycle, then run two cycles of fresh water to remove any residue.

Why is my coffee not hot enough?

Ensure the carafe is properly placed on the warming plate. If the warming plate is dirty, clean it. Also, preheat the carafe with hot water before brewing. If the issue persists, the heating element may need service.

How do I descale the Ariete 1384?

Descaling is recommended every 1-2 months depending on water hardness. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Fill the water tank, run a brew cycle, then discard the solution. Rinse by running 2-3 cycles of fresh water.

Can I use the coffee maker without the carafe in place?

No, the machine is designed to stop brewing if the carafe is removed (anti-drip function). However, you can pause mid-brew for up to 30 seconds to pour a cup.

What is the capacity of the water tank?

The water tank holds up to 1.25 liters, which yields about 10-12 cups of coffee.

Why does the coffee maker turn off by itself?

The Ariete 1384 has an auto shut-off feature that turns off the warming plate after about 2 hours for safety. This is normal and helps save energy.

Can I use ground coffee or only pods?

This machine uses ground coffee (not pods). Add the desired amount to the filter basket, typically 1 tablespoon per cup.

How do I clean the permanent filter?

Rinse the permanent filter under running water after each use. For a deeper clean, scrub gently with a soft brush and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

USEFUL TIPS TO PREPARE A GOOD COFFEE

The grounded coffee must be slightly pressed in the filter holder. A stronger or weaker coffee depends on the coffee grinding level, on the quantity put into the filter holder and the pressing. A few seconds are required for the coffee to be dispensed into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too fine or that the coffee put into the filter holder has been pressed too much.

Warning!

All cleaning operations described below must be carried out with the appliance off and with the plug disconnected from the outlet.

Warning!

A good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and maintain the appliance operating efficiently for a longer period greatly reducing the risk of scale formation inside the appliance.

Never wash the appliance components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water.

Warning!

Every operation must be carried out when the appliance is cold.

Cleaning of components

Remove and wash the water tank (Fig. 16), the milk container, the filter holder, both the filters and the coffee measure/press in water and soap. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.

Filters cleaning

Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 18). Let boiling water flow from the filter holder with the filter inserted without the powder to dissolve or remove any coffee residue or impurities.

Warning!

Remove and disconnect the filter holder slowly because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or sprays.

Filter holder seat cleaning

With use, it may occur that in the filter holder seat there is a sedimentation of coffee grounds, which can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 19), or letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 5).

Warning!

Do not leave the filter holder in the appliance. The seal ring in the filter holder seat could be damaged.

Milk nozzle and milk container cleaning

Unscrew the milk nozzle from the lever (I) and wash it with running water.

Warning!

Perform the operation when the chrome-plated tube is cool to avoid burns.

The milk nozzle can be cleaned with a non abrasive cloth. Put back the milk nozzle and screw it till the end. If necessary clean the milk hole with a pin.

After the milk preparation is it possible to clean the brewing circuit from any remaining milk. Remove the milk container and its lid. Wash both of them with warm water and try carefully. Fill the milk container with water (100 ml circa) and put back the milk container and its lid in the appliance. Put a vessel on the cup-resting grill.

Make sure that the milk nozzle is inside the vessel. Turn the milk quantity knob on the position "Clean" (💡) and press the latte button three times. Repeat the operation if necessary.

Remove the grill (G) and wash it under running water.

Appliance body cleaning

Warning!

Clean the fixed parts of the appliance using a non-abrasive damp cloth to prevent damaging the body.

DESCALING

Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the appliance efficient for a longer period, greatly reducing the risk of scale formation into the appliance.

If despite this, after some time, the appliance operation should be compromised, due to constant use of hard and very hard water, it is possible to carry out a descaling operation of the appliance to eliminate the malfunction. For this purpose use only a descaling product for coffee machines. Ariete does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the appliance caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical additives. If a descaling is required, observe the directions on the instruction sheet of the descaling product.

SETTING THE MACHINE OUT OF SERVICE

In the case of decommissioning of the appliance, it must be electrically disconnected. Empty the drip tray and clean it (see paragraph "Cleaning the appliance"). In case of scrapping you will be required to separate the various materials used in the construction of the appliance and dispose of them according to their composition and to the applicable laws in the country of use.

If there are problems with operation, immediately turn off the appliance and unplug it from the socket-outlet.
